下面是几道SAT数学练习题，每道题目后面都有答案和详细的解析，希望同学们在练习的时候先不看答案，看看自己的能做对几道题，然后再与答案对照，找出错题原因，针对自己的SAT数学复习进行查漏补缺。

1. One side of a triangle has length 8 and a second side has length 5. Which

of the following could be the area of the triangle?

I 24

II 20

III 5

A. I only

B. II only

C. III only

D. II and III only

E. I, II and III

Correct Answer: D

解析:

The maximum area of the triangle will come when the given sides are placed at

right angles. If we take 8 as the base and 5 as the height the area = ½ x 8 x 5

= 20. We can alter the angle between the sides to make it less or more than 90,

but this will only reduce the area. (Draw it out for yourself). Hence the area

can be anything less than or equal to 20.

2. A certain animal in the zoo has consumed 39 pounds of food in six days. If

it continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total

consumption be 91 pounds?

A. 12

B. 11

C. 10

D. 9

E. 8

Correct Answer: E

解析:

Food consumed per day = 39/6. In the remaining days it will consume 91 - 39

pounds = 52 pounds. Now divide the food by the daily consumption to find the

number of days. 52 / (39/6) = 52 x (6 / 39) = 8

3. A perfect cube is an integer whose cube root is an integer. For example,

27, 64 and 125 are perfect cubes. If p and q are perfect cubes, which of the

following will not necessarily be a perfect cube?

A. 8p

B. pq

C. pq + 27

D. -p

E. (p - q)6

Correct Answer: C

解析:

A perfect cube will have prime factors that are in groups of 3; for example

125 has the prime factors 5 x 5 x 5 , and 64 x 125 will also be a cube because

its factors will be 4 x 4 x 4 x 5 x 5 x 5. Consider the answer choices in turn.

8 is the cube of 2, and p is a cube, and so the product will also be a cube. pq

will also be a cube as shown above.pq is a cube and so is 27, but their sum need

not be a cube. Consider the case where p =1 and q = 8, the sum of pq and 27 will

be 35 which has factors 5 x 7 and is not a cube. -p will be a cube. Since the

difference between p and q is raised to the power of 6, this expression will be

a cube (with cube root = difference squared).
